Choke Spring Bracket

Post by jimbrandberg »

With the choke control spring under the head there are two designs.
One design locates the spring up close to the head and so uses a shorter lower control rod.
The other design via a different bracket to the head locates the spring further down and uses a slightly longer lower control rod.
Does anyone know when the change occured?
I think the upper control rod that goes to the carburetor is the same length. I have a bundle of them and some sure have been bent funny over the years.

Jim -- A few years back South Coast Corsa posted an article on the different head choke brackets and rods -- there ARE A NUMBER OF DIFFERENCES over the years. At the time Clark's catalog was incorrect about what went with what. I'm not sure if Clark's ever fixed their problem.

Thanks, I've printed off the information for my info. I had separated them into 2 groups but it looks like I need to do more sometime.
